TO THE EDITOR:
In the streets of New York City on Sunday, UNC students felt a rare moment of hope for the climate justice movement.
We were surrounded by 400,000 people from all over the country, together calling on world officials set to attend the United Nations Climate Summit that begins today. President Obama is among those expected to be leading the conversation on taking concrete international action on climate change.
The UNC Sierra Student Coalition’s coal divestment campaign was inspired by this mass mobilization on Sunday. We feel more energized than ever to come back to campus and keep fighting for climate justice.
These opportunities to make powerful, positive change do not come often. Tomorrow, our University has a chance to make a difference.
Join us at 4 p.m. at the Carolina Inn for our presentation to the Board of Trustees’ Finance and Infrastructure Committee. Together, we can take the next steps in making our investments more sustainable.
